Also when you go there, don't email them. I ordered my RB20 in June and never got a response back from emailing. Call. Better anyway to talk to someone

Or you could talk to someone who is shady and steals everyones money. I would talk to me since that's what I do. I run around, stealing money, buying things and dodge my clients. I then buy them miniature skyline models and say "congrats" you have a new engine.

Anyhow, I'm not on here to sell you an engine. Venus has tons of horror stories - it's true. They back up their stuff, so if you want an engine, you'll probably end up with two or three because of their quality (i know about 3 friends that have 2 or more engines from venus cause of the quality).

As well - Racinghard is Flashoptions with a different name. They are another shady malaysian company that have agents who steal things in Japan and bring them to Malaysia where they can escape Japanese law and sell stuff at a cheap price....quality is probably good and you'll never get any reciprocations, but I don't agree with stealing.

And to anyone else who wants to know: I don't steal money. I have found two new suppliers and am correcting the problem with my 10 customers who ordered clips....reason for this is because I don't steal money. If I wanted to, all I would have had to do is file bankruptcy and collect the $35,000 but I didn't. So anyhow, thanks for your comments.

No it's ok, I'd rather have everyone know about thias so they won't makje the same mistake that the others did. You see, when I ordered my clip from venus, 6 days later I had a clip at my house. With Night you order yours and 6 months later you get an invoice saying you are out 500 bux no matter what. Cameron....you have no room to say who is a good distibuter and who isn't, you don't know the first thing about customer service or quality anything.

The only problems here is that I have dealt with Venus myself.

I got the product after two weeks (although it was in stock) because of them being incompetent at the time when it came to shipping. The engine had bad compression (bad headgasket) and had been Nos'd to all hell. The intercooler was smashed, piping crunched, radiator gone....and they said it was in perfect condition. My LSD arrived after 2 months of ordering...and the problem has still not been fixed with the engine.

Now, SCC never got an engine from me. I had a customer from a long time back that had an engine already and SCC wanted a story, so I gave them my customer to use for the swap guide...that's how SCC got a hold of the info.

And lastly, if you have never been a customer of mine personally, you have no room to talk. The funniest part of forums is that everyone can be an ******* even if they have no reason. I have 8 customers out of 10 that are waiting for their clips to arrive from my new supplier and 2 of them are waiting for refunds (which will be issued out in order of arrival). Nismo241 never bought a thing from me....don't even make me bring you and your dumbass issue back up. Therefore, if there was a problem, my customers who were pissed would be on here bashing instead of someone who just likes to shoot stuff out their ***. Congrats to you.

Ya know what, you waited 2 weeks for venus to ship your stuff cause of their shipping problems, if thats bad customer service what do you call your customer service????? OK, it's not your fault, if thats true then why didn't you tell everyone that???? OH because you don't like being hasseled....well when you have 3300+ of someones money, that tends to happen, thats business. Now what exactly is the issue with me????? Well lets see, I was going to buy a down pipe from you for wiring info, well your wiring info caught my car on fire wiring it exactly the way you told me to. Now who on gods green earth would have bought that DP, and don't even tell me you would cause I remeber a certain Ebay incident with SS autochrome where you heard about a bad product and refused to pay.

Now back on topic.....Venus is a great place to buy a clip from, you get good service and good turn around time. I just completed another RB20 swap and we got the clip through them. It didnt have intercooler piping, but we called them and they sent it right out. They also offer a warranty. The thing you have to remember when buying used motors....they are used, who's to say what condition it's in, they won't do a compression test unless you ask them too. Their quality is just the same as everyone else's. My only complaint is they are hard to get a hold of.

When are the lies going to end????? Good question...a question you should ask yourself, and maybe tell the 10 unsatisfied customers of yours. Well since you think I am lying about the fire, heres why. You "looked in the R32 FSM" and told me the color of the ignition wires were the same as the RB25, so you told me to use that info, I did, and what happened when I connected the battery????? Spark and flames and burnt wires, it was a cool show but not what I was looking for. If you'd like I could post the conversation we had about it on AIM.
